How WN1159 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN1159 across the PWM and MDW boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~16 min) but landed about 12 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN1159 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
